Inferno - The BBFC Verdict (carry the chat about the BBFC on here only!)

[springjack]

Thid thread was made because we kept discussing the cut on the regular Inferno thread.

I suggest you go onto that thread instead if you don't want to talk or read about censorship!

Every user in this forum has only one opinion... UNCUT.

If the opinion is the same to everybody then it´s not a debate, but a consensus.

The BBFC have already ruled thin once... CUT.
Then, some emails did the magic action of resubmit "Inferno" to a new evaluation.

Until another decision I believe it´s pointless for us to throw the same old story.
Sure, I want this uncut like evrybody else, but let´s wait for the decision of the BBFC...

It was just an idea, folks!

My point was going along with what Almar has been trying to get across: everything has been said already for the past week or two and now it's getting too contentious 'n' venomous. And I DO keep reading because when there's continued activity and I've been away for a day, there's hope that the BBFC has a new verdict that's been posted - and I have to cruise through a bunch of occasionally nasty responses tween folks to find out...nope, no response yet. I guess my idea was self-serving...?

Tbh,after much deleberation,I'm not too bothered now if the BBFC come back and say the cut will still be made.Sure,I would like an uncut release,we all would and it's a pointless cut but at the end of the day,I can live without the scene (I think!).And that shall be the extent of stevoj's involvment in the BBFC Infeno debate. ( Yes I realize I didn't really debate anything there )

Having watched the scene in question just yesterday on the old ABUS DVD release, I'd find it very surprising IF the filmmakers actually went through the "trouble" of deliberately staging the whole "cat/mouse" thing- as the bits really have an "insert" feel and could have been taken out of any documentary on cats and mice.

If you ask some people they are pests, if you ask others, they are pets -- depends on the mouse! Same goes for cats and dogs, depending on whether they are feral or tame.

I've just watched the scene (again) on my BU DVD and, if the film is good for the UK market, wonder how it will work in terms of the music as Keith Emerson's score is really pounding at that point.

Also, it definitely looks like an insert shot so either someone got lucky and caught a cat eating a mouse on camera or the mouse was 'introduced' to the cat and nature took its course. Only Dario Argento and other members of the crew really know what happened, so is it worth writing a letter to the Italian maestro asking how that shot came about?

See, I probably wouldn't feel bad killing a mouse, rabbit or toad as they seem to be the biggest pests around here. They do more damage than good and breed like crazy.

I also just watched the scene, mostly because I really couldn't remember it. I agree that it looks like an insert, that is was a (un)lucky coincidence that someone captured it

I would, I feel bad if I accidently stand on a bug.
